seat-continuity-and-handover skillA

seat-continuity-and-handover is agent-read markdown (skill) from mvschwarz/openrig: Use when replacing a seat's occupant (rebuild/handover/swap), reasoning about stable-seat-identity vs fluid-occupant-identity, choosing an old-occupant disposition (retire/advise/shadow), or recording provenance for an occupant change. Two independent outcomes (continuityOutcome + seatBindingOutcome) and the 5 failure modes that prevent silent dishonesty..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Seat Continuity and Handover

A pair of primitive families that separate *who is sitting in a seat* from
*what the seat itself is*:

1. **Occupant-creation primitives** — `resume`, `fork`, `rebuild`, `fresh` — produce a candidate new occupant. Answer: "where did the new occupant come from?"
2. **Seat-binding operations** — handover binds a candidate occupant into the topology. Answer: "what happened to the stable seat identity?" Inspect the current CLI for executable operations; design vocabulary alone does not establish a command.

Core architectural decision: **stable seat identity, fluid occupant
identity, explicit provenance.** Do not encode successive occupants into live
seat names. Keep the stable address and record lineage separately.

## Use this when

- Replacing a seat's occupant via rebuild, fork, fresh, or seat-handover
- Choosing old-occupant disposition: retire / advise / shadow
- Reasoning about whether a seat's lineage is stable or has drifted
- Reading or writing the provenance record for a seat
- Designing or auditing topology stability across an occupant change

## Don't use this when
